» River Oaks Shopping Center

River Oaks Shopping Center, one of the oldest in Texas, offers top-notch shopping in Houston's most fashionable neighborhood.

With a snazzy “modern” design evocative of when the center was built in the 1930s, the mix of stores in the pedestrian center makes for a perfect day of leisurely window-shopping. National names like Gap and Ann Taylor sit alongside locally-owned, luxury boutiques like 310 Rosemont, Events, La Mode Lingerie, and Chase’s Closet, an upscale children’s clothing boutique owned by Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins of R&B group TLC. The center also makes room for world-class restaurants including Tintos Spanish Restaurant and Wine Bar, Tony Mandola's Gulf Coast Kitchen, Café Le Jadeite and La Griglia.

In addition to the 38 stores and 15 restaurants, the center is also home to the legendary River Oaks Movie Theatre, which brings a small town feel to the age of the megaplex. You’ll also find classic cocktails at the infamous Marfreless bar, which is recognized only by a blue door.
